Shuttle returns to KSC next week by 747
Current plans are for the Shuttle to be flown from Edwards back to KSC on Tuesday. Straight line distance just short of 2,000 Nm takes 2 days, due to the (not surprising) limits on range/speed and weather placed on the 747 when carying the shuttle. More details here (note - site does have a pop-up):
